Guest: Sue Wilson, media reform advocate, Media Action Center
In a lively rally, CA Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) unveiled the Election Rigging Response Act, to push back against a scheme by Donald Trump and Republicans to re-gerrymander Texas' U.S. House map to steal five seats from largely minority voters. Media reform advocate SUE WILSON explains the latest bizarre twists in the long-running challenge to hold rightwing media giant Sinclair Broadcasting accountable for violating FCC limits on media ownership through secretly-owned 'sock puppet' TV stations in cities around the country. Plus our new 'Green News Report.'
